On today’s show…
Wicked Shorts
No… they are not demon-possessed pair of denim cut-offs but short theatre performances that all started with Marisa Smith and Elizabeth Kirkland. Wicked Shorts is a culmination of four plays that brings hilarity to every day and unusual romantic situations (as if they weren’t funny enough!). It includes ‘Matador Love’ that is a romantic comedy about a blind date from hell and ‘Rendez-vous’ that telepathically reveals the thoughts of a waiter serving during date night. With a sold out show at Vancouver Fringe at the Wicked Cafe, they turn The Cultch into it’s own culture cafe with the two actors entering around you. The director, Marisa Smith will be on show to talk about her shorts.
Playing at The Cultch from Sept 21st – Oct 9th, for more information click here!
The Cove: Leah Lemieux
A free movie screening of the Academy Award 2009 winning documentary, The Cove, will be happening at SFU Harbour Centre with a presentation and discussion from Leah Lemieux. She’s the author of ‘Rekindling the Waters’ where she explores her background with dolphins and her work for the past 20 years for dolphin conservation and conservation initiatives. The Cove is about a covert operation by a team of activists and divers to a small fishing village in Taiji, Japan to uncover what they’re doing in the ocean. On the show, we’ll have Leah here to talk about dolphins!
